Maalik Box Office Collection Day 9: Rajkummar Rao’s much-discussed gangster drama Maalik has completed nine days at the box office and is showing signs of holding steady. After delivering a solid first week with a total India net collection of around Rs 21.20 crore, the movie continued its run into the second weekend. On Day 8 (Friday), it earned approximately Rs 0.60 crore, and Day 9 (Saturday) saw a slight increase with collections touching Rs 0.75 crore. This brings Maalik’s total India net to roughly Rs 22.68 crore, as per early estimates from Sacnilk.

Day-wise Box Office Collection Of Maalik

Maalik kicked off with a strong start on its opening Friday (Day 1), earning Rs 3.75 crore. This was followed by an equally impressive performance on the weekend, with both Saturday (Day 2) and Sunday (Day 3) bringing in Rs 5.25 crore each. As expected, the collections dipped on Monday (Day 4) to Rs 1.75 crore but bounced back slightly on Tuesday (Day 5) with Rs 2.10 crore. The mid-week slump resumed with Rs 1.75 crore on Wednesday (Day 6) and Rs 1.35 crore on Thursday (Day 7), rounding out the first week’s total to Rs 21.20 crore.

Meanwhile, the second Friday (Day 8) saw a drop of nearly 46 percent compared to its opening Friday, with Rs 0.60 crore. However, Saturday (Day 9) witnessed a mild boost of around 8 percent, earning Rs 0.75 crore. Occupancy levels improved slightly too—Hindi 2D shows saw an average occupancy of 17.93 percent nationwide, with Hyderabad reporting the highest at 43 percent.

Directed by Pulkit, Maalik stars Rajkummar Rao as a gangster in 1980s Allahabad. The movie also stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Manushi Chhillar, and Huma Qureshi in key roles. The film, while showing a familiar midweek dip, is being closely watched to see if Sunday (Day 10) can continue the upward trend.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Box Office Collection

In comparison, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, a romantic drama directed by Santosh Singh, has had a much quieter run. The film tells the story of two visually impaired strangers who meet on a train and fall in love. It stars Vikrant Massey as a blind musician, Shanaya Kapoor in her debut role, and Zain Khan Durrani.

According to Sacnilk, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan has managed to collect a total of Rs 1.70 crore by the end of Day 7. The daily numbers show an opening day of Rs 0.30 crore, Rs 0.50 crore each on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a gradual drop through the week—Rs 0.13 crore on Monday, Rs 0.12 crore on Tuesday, Rs 0.08 crore on Wednesday, and Rs 0.07 crore on Thursday. As of now, Sacnilk has not updated the Day 8 and Day 9 collections.

While Maalik is managing to sustain interest in its second week, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is yet to show signs of box office momentum. With Sunday ahead for both films, it remains to be seen whether the weekend can give the romantic drama a much-needed boost.
